Hi Simon,
Just fitted exactly the same parts on my FL S8,Have to say no problems at all,went on a dream. I was a bit sceptical with Bosch pads,but all seems fine,no squeeling etc.

Wait till the discs turn up - I was amazed how heavy the Brembo discs were for my A6,which sit under 17" rims! Lord knows how heavy these must be
 Thought I'd get prices for the S8 parts (and availability!) before I recommended them lol

I've ordered a set of rear discs and pads too, as mine are well down and I'm changing a rear caliper anyway.
Set of rear pads was £15 or so, the rear discs £18 or so each. This guy is very reasonable, price wise.

You're right again. I picked up a box with a front disc in. The damn thing was so heavy that it slid out the edge of the sealed box and damn near landed on my tootsies, which it would have nargled for sure!  Never seen discs where someone went to the trouble of painting the centres and edges either.

Well, did the job and the parts from Murrays direct, were perfect.
Only slight problem is this. The o/s/f brake is binding lightly. Just enough to notice the car 'stick' a little as it coasts to a stop. The disc is very warm- if not hot. I notiiced, when the brakes were off, that the ally calipers are each fitted with four stainless steel pieces (fixed with one screw each) to stop the steel pad backs from wearing the calipers. One of mine was lifted off the caliper slightly by either corrosion or grime, but I couldn't get the screw out to clean underneath. Does anyone know how best to deal with this? We ground the pad backs' edges flat in a bench grinder but disdn't really relieve them. Worried that they might rattle when more worn.
